Torrential rain, earthquakes, mudslides . . . all kinds of unexpected happenings around us. How do we respond? Are we ready to step in and provide assistance as amateur radio operators? Most of you may have been hams for a long time, and have many years of expeience handling traffic all over the world. There is so much to our hobby that is exciting, interesting to learn and add to our knowledge about radio and the latest technology. When I moved to Whittier in 1994, I decided I wanted to find out
how to use my amateur radio operator’s license more effectively. I contacted the city, who put me in touch with Vi Barrett (W6CBA), our then Club President -- and you could say, “the rest is history.” I’m still a relative “newbee” in many areas, but I’m trying to get up to speed. I’m learning how I can use something I enjoy to help others. I hope we as a club can become even more involved in assisting our community and neighbors in emergency communications.
Our February Club meeting will host Brian Thorson (AF6NA) from Southern California Edison, who will bring a presentation on RFI (radio frequency interference). Brian gives many talks at Edison and around Southern California. I am sure you will enjoy him, and be glad you came.
As a reminder, bring your ideas for making our Club better, and bring your hand held radio to make sure you have all the area frequencies programmed in. See you on the air, and 73.
